Love Vinted? So Do We, But This Is Why We'd Never Buy Second-Hand Shoes
If your Vinted app is full of bundle alerts and "offer accepted" notifications, you're in very good company. It's become one of the easiest ways to dress our fast-growing children without spending a fortune, and we're genuinely all for it.
But while second-hand clothes can be a win all round, shoes are a different story. As tempting as it is to add that barely-worn pair to your basket, a child's shoes really are one item worth buying new and having fitted. Here's why...

Walking With Kids: The Everyday Habit With Extraordinary Benefits for Children's Health
We all know we should walk more. Just like "drink more water" and "get to bed earlier", it's on the list of things we intend to do and somehow never quite manage. Life is busy, mornings are chaotic and it's often just easier to just jump in the car.

How Your Child’s Feet Develop in the Early Years (and why understanding this will make a difference)
From the moment your child is born, their feet are busy doing an extraordinary job. Long before your
little one takes their first steps, their feet are growing, adapting, learning and responding to the world.
Children’s feet are not simply “mini versions” of adult feet. They are soft, malleable and constantly changing, especially during the first five years. Understanding how their feet develop can help you make confident, informed choices that will support your child now a

Hypermobility in Young Children: What It Is, What to Look For and How You Can Support Their Growing Bodies
If your child has extra-bendy joints or slightly “wobbly” movements, it’s possible you’ve received a diagnosis of hypermobility.
